SetSubconditionNames Method (_AEConditionElement)
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.AddressSpace.ComTypes Namespace > _AEConditionElement Interface : SetSubconditionNames Method
An array of subcondition names.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Sub SetSubconditionNames( _
   ByRef value() As String _
) 
'Usage
 
Dim instance As _AEConditionElement
Dim value() As String
 
instance.SetSubconditionNames(value)
void SetSubconditionNames( 
   ref string[] value
)
void SetSubconditionNames( 
   array<String^>^% value
) 

Parameters

value
Remarks

Subcondition names are server specific.

The number of sub-condition names returned will vary depending on the sophistication of the server, but is expected to be less than 10 for most servers.

It is expected that the available subcondition names for a particular condition on the Server will be fairly 'stable' and that they will generally not change 'online'. However, the Server is in fact allowed to change the available selection at any time. Therefore, a Client should do (or at least allow as an option) a fresh Query every time a selection is to be presented to the end user.
